Krogh to Dems: Stop Socializing Medicine—State Young Republican Chair criticizes NY Democrats for supporting bill
Lynn Krogh, Chair of the New York State Young Republicans, today strongly condemned the members of the New York Congressional delegation who voted yesterday in favor of The Affordable Health Care for America Act, the first stage of President Obama and House Speaker Pelosi’s plan to turn the United States into a nation completely dependent upon government.
“This is a complete destruction of everything that the Founding Fathers stood for,” said Krogh. “If they have their way, slowly but surely the freedoms we enjoy in the greatest nation in the world will no longer exist.”
Voting in favor of the bill were nearly all of the Congressional Democrats from New York including John Hall from Ulster County, Tim Bishop from Suffolk County, Dan Maffei of Monroe County, Mike Arcuri from Oneida County, and the newest member of the House Bill Owens of Clinton County.
Krogh continued, “These people should be ashamed of themselves for voting in a way that will further bankrupt our government and cripple our health care system. The New York Democratic House delegation has proven that it is blind to the public’s wishes to reduce massive government spending. The nationwide results on Tuesday signaled a rejection of excessive mandates and the New York Democratic House delegation should avoid following this radical agenda.”
The bill passed in a rare Saturday session of the House and it mandates that all Americans have health care either by a private company or a government-run corporation. Should anyone wish to decline coverage, they will be fined each year when they pay their federal taxes.
“$1 Trillion is a huge, unfathomable number that we have seen used way too often and too early in the Obama Administration. I encourage all Americans to call their senators to let them know that they have the ability to reject the poor choices of the House,” Krogh concluded.
